Our guest for this episode is Dr. De Witt Douglas Kilgore, Associate Professor in the Indiana University Department of English. Dr. Kilgore's first book Astrofuturism: Science, Race, and Visions of Utopia in Space is the first full-scale analysis of an aesthetic, scientific, and political movement that sought the amelioration of racial difference and social antagonisms through the conquest of space.

Kilgore's current book project is The Galactic Club: Seeking a Postracial Universe in Science/Fiction.
